Agreed with the reaction to criticisms. My biggest problem with Discovery is the fact that, during the last two seasons especially, you'd frequently have some insanely huge event taking place that also has a ticking clock and the crew will just stop trying to solve the event so they can have a little talk about their feelings.

I have no problem with Star Trek talking about people's feelings. I have no problem with Burnham's arc effectively being about her seeing the value of her emotions (after having been raised by Vulcans). I have no problem with a Star Trek show having scenes of therapy or whatnot. I have huge problems with these things happening IN THE MIDDLE OF A TICKING CLOCK GALAXY WIDE CRISIS. You're supposed to be professionals. Get it together, finish the mission, then deal with all of this in debrief!

But some might read this and think that I'm "hur dur, Michael Burnham is crying all the time." Nope.

There are a lot of people out there who are "totally ok with the gays" but put such a high bar on what constitutes acceptable representation that it starts to feel like bigotry by omission.
